Description Suggest change

Approach by "Fearful in Battle" (trad, 11b) or "By Stealth" (sport, 11a. Back clean bolts 1,2, long draw 2,3, skip 5). From the chain anchor, choose the bolt line that arcs left, straightens out, and then joins a plum anchor. 

Easy climbing at first leads you to thin, tenuous climbing. Several bolt to bolt sequences are in the 11+ to 12b range, but it is slab so you can sort of rest anywhere. The crux is tightly bolted and involves a non-existent left foot and two right hand Gaston's, good luck!

For full value, link in to "Disembowelled" (12a, 7 bolts, 20 m) - the bolt line exiting the 2nd anchor. 

The top anchor is the old fat Metolius hangers with a pair of biners. Because of the way the biners sit, your rope gets twisted pretty fiercely. A quick-link between the hanger and the biner would fix this, if you have the means!

Location Suggest change

Locate the low roof (the path goes directly under this roof) on The Fortress. Follow this to the end. "By Stealth" goes up the first panel of rock just right of the roof, and arcs left under the prominent roof at ~12 m that sweeps into a right facing corner. This bolt line, or the faint crack ~3 m to the left are your approach options. Belay in the bushes just left of the trees. 

Protection Suggest change

For P2 only, 10 bolts. Both anchors are fixed.
